Change Readiness Programs
Let's create your change readiness strategy
Building an effective change readiness strategy isn’t usually a one-person job. Everyone on your team needs strong and healthy change readiness muscles. Your strategy must cater to individuals and all the people on your team.
On the Home page, we saw that your change readiness strategy needs to focus on the psychological change fitness within people and the organisational change readiness within the environment. Your strategy must focus on both areas, preferably at the same time.
Your strategy must work in practice, have measurable outcomes, and be safe to use with your people.
Requirements for your strategy:
- address both individual and group needs
- build strengths internal to the person and outside the person (but inside the organisation)
- deliver measurable outcomes and be safe to use
What your strategy needs to do
On an individual level, you want your strategy to produce adaptable workers who are responsive to change and more successful at it. And you want it to produce competent and effective change leaders who make their teams more adaptable and more change-ready.
On the group level, you want your strategy to produce engaged, diverse, and adaptive teams that work well together, solving problems, removing obstacles, and seizing new opportunities. You also want it to produce managers who manage change effectively and build engagement using scientific methods.
Your strategy needs to focus on the individual and the group. It needs to focus on growing personal change fitness and organisational change readiness. It needs to do both simultaneously, in a way that can be measured and that is safe for your team and your business.
How do you develop such a strategy?
You could try to develop the strategy on your own, but that would take years of trial and error, sifting through information and creating your own new knowledge, and it would be very expensive and difficult.
It doesn’t need to be that hard. You can leverage our knowledge of change readiness to build your strategy. The best place to start is with the Superpowers Program. This 10-week program will orient you, provide a change readiness framework, improve your change fitness, and teach you how to develop adaptable teams.
If you want more direction, we have other change fitness, change management, and transformational leadership programs.
Do our programs work?
Let’s look at some data. We have been collecting data on the effectiveness of our programs since 2015. The data show that our clients’ average change readiness scores improved by 38% over 90 days. This is a good result, but we’re always trying to improve.
This graph shows change readiness improvements in recent clients across various groups. The red columns show their change readiness scores before training and the green columns show the scores after training. Our programs are scientific, and there is quantitative and qualitative data to show they work. Let’s look at the Change Readiness Superpowers programs and see what they can offer you.
Change Readiness Superpowers
So, the best place to start is with the Change Readiness Superpowers program. This can be taken as an individual or a group program, providing a great introduction to change readiness. It will get you started on your change readiness strategy and will help build personal change fitness and organisational change readiness.
Superpowers (Individual Program)
One option is to do the program on your own. This may be a good option for people who want to:
- check out the program before recommending it to others in their organisation
- promote their own personal and professional development
- want a certificate to show they have done change readiness training
- want to promote change readiness in their organisation but don’t have much support from management
Superpowers (Group Program)
The second option is to do the program with your team. This may be the best option for people who want to:
- align a common understanding and language about change across the team
- dive deeper into how the concepts relate to your organisation and what their implications might be
- develop the change fitness and readiness of your organisation in a shared, communal experience
- save time and money by training together
- launch your change readiness strategy
Other programs
The Superpower programs are great places to start, but we offer other programs that strengthen change fitness and build organisational change readiness. You can learn more about them here.

What are the outcomes I can expect to see?
